    Well, guess I don't have to worry about setting the week's goal too high on the first day! Waited too late in the day for walking. I must have been crazy! Though my walking goal doesn't normally include exercise based walking, Sundays are my slow days so I figured I'd get a walk in to establish my baseline for the week. Only got 1 mile due to the heat!

    Okay, I am starting over again. Today was Day #1. I went to the local YMCA and signed up for their 2 week free trial. I dropped my daughter off in the babysitting room and attacked the treadmill. I walked at 2.0 mph for 3 minutes, then bumped it up to 2.5 for 3 minutes then 3.0 for 15 minutes. I was sweating! I didn't realize what walking 3.0 mph really felt like. I then attempted the bicycle but that seat hurt my butt so I only got in 8 minutes... attempted the elliptical and I only managed 1 whole minute. That machine is BRUTAL!!!

    My goals this week:
    1) go to the YMCA 5 days this week for at LEAST 30 minutes. (1/5 complete!)
    2) log everything. EVERYTHING. EVERY LITTLE MORSEL THAT GOES INTO MY MOUTH.
    3) stop the nighttime binge/snacking that I picked up again.

    Good luck to all!

    Darling Dee, I am here and ready to do something, anything. I have been having a bad time of it emotionally but need to not make it worse by eating things that make me feel bad physically and emotionally.

    I am going to challenge myself to write down everything I eat after 3:30pm everyday. I would like to write the whole day, but it is 3:30 and beyond that I have probs with my program. It is truly a attitude thing because I need to care more. I can do it I just need to want to.

    I watched the last part of What's Eating Gilbert Grape last night and it reminded me of how out of control my weight can get when the mother (if you haven't seen it she is morbitly obese) says "I haven't always been like this". You know, I haven't always been like this and I don't have to be either.

    Man (or woman as it were) the battleships ladies (and any gentlemen out there) I am at war!

    Phone is still MIA. I'm hoping it's sitting on my desk when I get to work in the morning. I'm off to bed. I need to go to sleep so I can get up at 5:45 and get my workout in.

    Night all!

    I am in Langley near Vancouver.

    I wish the heat was part of it, but it hasn't gotten over 60 here yet lol nope just poor food choices...yummy...but poor and then the travel i'd gather. i'm upping my water again cause before this i was sick for 2 weeks so it's kinda been a roller coaster ride.

    Report Day 1:
    1. Go to bed by 10pm every night. X didn't get home from Dad's til 11:30!
    2. Go to gym 3 days this week. X not planned for today
    3. Try out a different home workout program each day. I have lots of them! yay!! sort of. did 25 minutes of kickboarding laps in the pool. my stomach is killing me!!!
    4. Walk 1/4 mile further each day from the day before. (this is not "exercise walking" I wear a pedometer all day to judge how much moving I'm actually doing.) today was setting baseline for the rest of the week. 2.5 miles

    I am in again. Same as last week since I did not make my goal. I have the worst cold ever and I just slept most of the weekend in a dayquil/nyquil daze =( Still very stuffy but maybe I can sweat the rest of this out of me ;) So trying for 450min of exercise again. Good luck everyone!

    Arrgghh!!! Ok, this is as bad as "the dog ate my homework"!!! But it's true....I flushed my pedometer! I can't believe it just went right down!!! I did check it just a few minutes before that and I'm on my way to go get a new one, but that means I'm out a few hundred steps at least!! Oh well, I already hit yesterdays number so I'll still be ok for my challenge...seriously...flushed my pedometer??? Unreal!!!!
